Thanks for the bug report. This is a forward reference -- forward in 
time, that is. <tongue firmly in cheek> Boost v1.34 will indeed have a 
<boost/typeof/typeof.hpp> file, but it isn't out yet. You're right that 
the separate download, which is intended to be usable with earlier boost 
releases, should probably not have xpressive_typeof.hpp in the project 
file. It's auxiliary, as you've noticed.
